Won today 3-1.

Great Weekend to get Texas Seniors in the games.  Shea got some much needed work.

Still gonna need to hit better in postseason!! 🤘

3 seed Texas faces 2 seed OSU 11am Friday.

quick question: should I read anything into our offense dropping off from the beginning of the season?  Is it just that the big 12 just has much better pitching than we faced earlier in the year? Seems like we hit better earlier in the year even against decent teams, but I may be mis-remembering.  

http://www.big12sports.com/fls/10410/pdfs/softball/19sbstats.pdf?DB_OEM_ID=10410  (B12 does not have conference only stats for 2019)

.

Valid concern.    Better pitching, better scouting of our hitters imo.   The  starting Baylor pitcher today pitched a great game.      Knew exactly how to pitch our hitters, location, etc.  She tried to get a fastball by pinch hitter  Washington and missed location resulting in the key hit.

 I think there is cause for concern.   We are hitting .313 overall but only .272 in the last 8 games.    But the key is the hitters just don't look confident, imo.

 

 

 

 

For those that haven't been following the collapse of the Oregon roster-

1 pitcher quit midseason. This left only one scholarship pitcher along with a walk-on. 

Last week, two starters collided on a fly ball. Both are now out due to concussion symptoms.

Today against Utah, another infielder got injured.

The result: Some infielders are now pitching and the walk on catcher is now playing outfield (unfortunately also making fielding errors).

I think they also had to win out to have a shot at the NCAAs (.500 record) and got run ruled twice instead 

Latest projection I saw has us as the #6 and UF #11 which would be good because that offense for UF has died to end the season. I’d feel very good about our chances at home. 

6th in RPI. We play 12 and 59 on Friday. Likely Saturday opponent would be 1 or 19. Nothing that could hurt us really. 

But the real Q is pitching rotation. Do you go Elish-Shea-Elish if it’s OU or Elish-Bollinger-Shea if it’s TT?

Does Shea get a crack at OU so you can have Elish ready in relief and let Brooke handle ISU?

Good question..... Probably part of Saturday pitching decision will be determined by the pitch counts from Friday games.  Also wonder how healthy Shea is currently?  May only want to use Shea for certain hitter match-ups in the Saturday game if blOU is their opponent.

BUST OUT THE  BATS!! Would be great to beat Okie Lite, and then follow that with a quick early lead vs Iowa State.... maybe even get the Horn's 4th pitcher in for an inning of two.

Couple questions:

1) Besides Elish, what pitcher pitched the best against blOU??

2) Isn't it critical to beat Iowa State to secure the Horns a spot in top 8 Rpi??

Yeah it is. But I have faith Shea or Brooke can pitch us to a win versus ISU

Ou never saw Shea so I think it’s an interesting option if you don’t want them to have a fourth look at Elish 

We are also so far into the season that teams in the top 100 (win or lose) aren’t going to affect RPI much. Would just look better to not lose to ISU

Aggy loses the SEC "play-in" game in the tournament at their home park to MSU.

28-25 record.  RPI #45.

Very similar to us the last few years.  They may squeak in but we usually did so with 30ish wins. 

Motherfuck, OU swept All Big 12 - Coach, Player (Romero), Pitcher (Juarez), Defensive (Clifton) and Freshman (Green)

Elish and Jefferson make 1st Team

Shea, Iakopo and Washington make 2nd Team

Shea All Freshman as well

I found tomorrow mornings game with Okie lite at 11am on fox sports. On another note there's nobody at the SEC tournament in Collie Station. Way to represent gaggie fans!

Is Ellsworth supposed to play again this year?

Very unlikely unless Mary Iakopo becomes injured.     Possible medical redshirt ?

Edited by torre

Most likely, yes

nm... games tomorrow 😳

Anybody know if the games will be streamed on the FSGo app? And if so, would anybody be willing to share a login?

We really need these 2 games today; though, I suspect that Florida taking out LSU last night in the SEC tournament was the death of LSU's top 8 bid.  LSU needs total chaos - Texas losing both games today, Minnesota not winning the B1G tournament and ESPN's SEC bias pushing Florida/LSU into the last 2 spots.  

OU
UCLA
Washington
Arizona
FSU
Alabama
*Texas
*Florida
*LSU
*Minnesota

*All teams in contention for the last 2 spots

Couple of hits in the 1st, but a DP ruined it. 

Aren't they just Horns?  We don't call them "Lady Longhorns" like Tennessee.

Nice DP induced by Elish to get out of the 1st. 

3 double plays in 1.5 innings so far. Geez. Double plays are not that easy in softball. 

The absolute worst part about this sport is the incessant chatter. Whoever started this years ago should be shot. 

Boom! Texas strikes first on a 2 RBI double by K-Wash! 

Miranda is pitching really well through 3 IP, she just needs to keep this up.

should have been a dinger.  So close.  

About an inch or a friendly bounce the other way from being a 3-run shot. 

4 out of 5 innings with the leadoff on.  Gotta cash in more than we have. 

3 walks surrendered.  Come on Elish, throw strikes. 

To the 6th, Texas still up 2-0.  3-4-5 due up - best chance to add on to the 2 run lead. 

2 on with 1 out in the b6 after the 4th walk.  Come on Elish.  

Now bases loaded, 1 out. 

Geezus. Tie game.

2-1 geez girls are slow.

Jesus Elish, throw some fucking strikes. You've been behind just about every batter.
